What behaviour are you trying to achieve with a WATask?
If you're just trying to get a "normal" web browsing
experience, then have a look at how ShoreDemo1Root is
the "root" component from which other components are called.

FWIW, I've been down the WATask path, following the Sushi
store demo. Web apps seem to flow in two ways at the same
time. One is just random browsing, and the other is a
constrained path. You could consider "random" browsing
to be a contrained path, and therefore wrap it in a task,
but IMHO it makes the code harder.
